K424 of the Collapse World

The girl said, and her eyes became firm. In response, Shilis smiled and wanted to touch the girl's head, but suddenly remembered something, put her hand down awkwardly, and patted the girl's shoulder instead.

In this highly mechanized integrated space, Shiris looked at the structure that was obviously different from the buildings on the ground with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"As expected, even after living here for several years, it still feels a little unbelievable... It's a modern building outside, but there are rooms with futuristic technology in the basement. The background of me club is really unexpected..."

Shiris said casually, walked into a metal door that opened automatically, and came to the testing room hall in the lower area.

The receptionist in the hall saw the girl with loose silver hair and after a slight hesitation, he recognized the identity of the visitor.

"Hey! Miss Shiris? It's rare to see you... Are you planning to come here for combat training?"

"Well...that's right."

Shirley said perfunctorily with a smile on her face. She would never say that she came here just to stroll around.

"Okay, identity verification is complete, you may now enter the training grounds, Ms. Hillis."

"Well, hard work."

Responding with a polite smile, Shirley entered the No. 5 shooting range in the test room, with Seele and Bronya following behind her.

Although there are many members of the ME Society, most of them are scientific researchers, and combat personnel only account for a small part of them. Therefore, more than half of the positions in the huge training ground are empty.

The people who were training were all wearing earmuffs and concentrating on practicing shooting, and most of them did not notice the girls who suddenly walked in. In the sparse crowd, Shilis easily recognized two familiar faces.

"Hi~ Lillian, Elena. You guys are here too, huh? Are you doing combat training?"

"Lady Cialis? It's rare that you would come to a public training ground like this... Bronya and Seele are here too."

Lillian said in surprise, put down the training gun in her hand, and walked in front of the two girls. Elena beside her also smiled and nodded, put down the gun and walked over.

"Are you here to practice shooting as well? Shirley, there's an empty spot right next to us, would you like to join us?"

"Ah... Sorry, that's not necessary. Actually, I just came here to look around and I just said hello when I saw you. Well, don't take me so seriously."

Following Shilis's polite refusal, Lillian and Elena said nothing more and waved goodbye.

"Is that so? That's a shame... Lady Shiris's shooting skills should be better than Kiana's, right? Then next time, you must show me the Kaslana family's gun fighting skills."

As Lillian added, the corners of Shilis' mouth twitched, and she didn't know how to explain. Should she say that she actually couldn't shoot at all?

Since they all think so, there is no point in breaking these beautiful fantasies. Anyway, Shiris herself uses a shotgun, so naturally her shooting skills will not be exposed...

Thinking of this, Shirley smiled and nodded, agreeing with Lillian's words, and then left with Bronya and Seele.

(Probably, that doesn’t work either…)

Thinking back to the two girls she had just met, Shirley shook her head secretly and gave up the idea of ​​letting them take the blame.

(But then again, how should we deal with this terminal issue? If we can modify identity information at will, we don’t have to restrict the candidate to men. But no matter what, we should find someone who is reliable enough and someone Theresa doesn’t know. Lillian is a Valkyrie who rebelled against fate, so she won’t work. Elena doesn’t have the temperament of a “captain” either, so the two of them probably won’t work. Wait, I feel like I’ve forgotten something.)

Shirley didn't know that the person who told her the news was still waiting in a laboratory, thinking silently, and looking at the people in the training ground. But suddenly, after seeing a familiar petite figure in the corner, her eyes lit up, and she threw away what she had just thought about, and walked quickly towards the figure with long purple-red hair...

"Long time no see, Jiuxiao, are you free? I plan to give you a sacred mission..."

284 Before execution

"Ms. Claire said... I have a natural talent for fighting. As long as I undergo the so-called Valkyrie transformation and master the shooting technique, I will be an almighty and powerful Valkyrie! In this way, my identity as the savior will naturally have evidence..."

In a cubicle in the training room, Penglai Temple Jiuxiao muttered to herself while holding two guns and shooting at the target in front of her. The muzzles spewing flames weaved a dense barrage of bullets, which were accurately poured onto the target in the distance. Due to her weak physique, under the influence of recoil, rapid shooting could not achieve too high accuracy. However, all the bullets she fired hit the target, and none of them deviated from the target. Based on this point, she was obviously stronger than a certain silver-haired girl...

"Long time no see, Jiuxiao, are you free? I plan to give you a sacred mission..."

Suddenly, Jiuxiao heard a girl's voice coming from behind her. She was slightly startled. After quickly identifying the owner of the voice, her expression suddenly became excited.

"Kiana? No... it's Lady Shilis! Why are you here? Are you here to see me? Wait... you just said that you have a sacred mission for me?!"

Jiuxiao quickly put down the two guns and turned around, imitating Bronya and saluted Shiris with a clumsy military salute.

"Yeah, it's also a mission..."

Shirley said softly, looking at Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple in front of her. Her long purple-red gradient hair had not changed, and the tuft of blue hair on her forehead was still the same, but the Qianyu Academy uniform on her body had been replaced with the standard combat uniform of Anti-Entropy.

After taking a quick glance at Jiuxiao who was saluting with his head held high and chest puffed out, Shilis turned her head and looked at the two girls beside her with a hint of apology in her expression.

"Seele, Bronya, I'm sorry, I happen to have some important things to deal with, so I can't accompany you for the time being..."

"Well, it's okay..."

"Sister Cialis, go and do your work. Don't worry about us. Cialis has Sister Bronya with her, so she'll be fine."

After seeing the two girls off, Shiris turned to Jiuxiao again and waved her hand gently, signaling her to stop the silly-looking salute.

"Come on, this isn't a formal occasion..."

Suddenly remembering that Jiuxiao was still performing the chivalric salute to everyone she met two days ago, Shilis didn't have the time to care about her middle school life that had returned from the Middle Ages to the modern times so quickly. She walked straight to Jiuxiao and patted her shoulder as if she was a leader coming to inspect.

"Comrade Jiuxiao, now... I have a task that only you can complete! If you don't have anything urgent to do right now, can you talk to me for a while?"

"Yes! Of course... Lady Shilis, I have been training for this moment! Finally... has this day finally come? Before the crisis comes, are you finally willing to use my power..."

"Stop! Don't get so excited. Let me make it clear first, this is not a crisis. In fact, I'm not completely sure whether to hand this matter over to you... Anyway, come with me for a moment. This matter is a little complicated to explain..."

Seeing Jiuxiao's excitement, it was obvious that he was about to get into the state again. In order to prevent her own thoughts from being distorted, Xi Lisi hurriedly stopped Jiuxiao's behavior and tried her best to make her expression look less serious.

"Yes, I understand! The description of the confidential mission naturally requires a secret location. Lead the way, Lady Shilis. Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will definitely do my best!"

Jiuxiao answered excitedly, and Shilis twitched her lips. Because of this conversation, the other members of the Anti-Entropy in the training room focused their strange eyes on this side, which made Shilis feel a tingling sensation on her scalp. But she still endured it and nodded calmly.

"Yes, your awareness is good... But don't say anything more, just follow me. Since you also know that this is a secret mission, is it really okay to make a big fuss about it like this?"

"ah....

..Yes! I am really sorry, because my immature behavior may lead to the exposure of mission intelligence... I am really sorry, so I am willing to accept any form of punishment..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense! Come here now!"

Grabbing Jiuxiao's wrist directly and covering her mouth with her other hand, Shilis ignored the girl's struggle and dragged her towards the electronic door not far away with twitching eyes.

Shirley knew very well that this middle school girl with cancer was actually very unreliable, but now, the only person she could think of who was suitable to take the blame was probably Jiuxiao from Penglai Temple...

Although it is usually embarrassing and stupid to see her acting like a middle school student, if she is in a suitable situation, her middle school behavior will become extremely reasonable...

To pretend to be the captain of a battleship, leadership ability is not important, but you must have the temperament of a leader.

So, in the current ME company, who else can make such a shameful declaration with a serious face, except Jiuxiao?

Because of Jiu Xiao's troublesome personality, she rarely communicated with other fighters in the base, so even though her behavior was very strange, not many people knew of her existence, and naturally there was no possibility of her identity information being leaked. In other words, Jiu Xiao was a "black household" with no identity information in Tianming's side. In this case, she was obviously very suitable for this mission...

“Mmmmm…!”

"Hmm? Jiuxiao, what do you want to say?"

After leaving the training ground, Shiris breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Jiuxiao, letting her cough and catch her breath beside her.

"Ahem... You, do you want to kill me?! Lady Shilis, I almost suffocated just now! I will definitely obey your orders, so please don't do this again next time..."

"Oh, I see. It seems this method is indeed very effective... And, didn't you just say that you are willing to accept any punishment? Well, let's just consider it as a punishment for delaying the mission instructions."

"..."

Hearing Xili's undisguised words, even Jiuxiao couldn't help but roll her eyes at her. Then she touched her neck with lingering fear. Although she had multiple combat skills, her physique was still within the range of normal people. Jiuxiao knew before that the two silver-haired sisters both had extraordinary powers like Honkai beasts. After her own personal experience, she really knew that being with such inhuman strongmen, even in daily interactions, would be dangerous...

(Forget it, how can the world of the strong be the same as before? I have to adapt quickly...)

"Well, Lady Shilis, before we start explaining the mission, please let me go and say hello to my master... We agreed before that I would ask her for swordsmanship. If I want to go on a mission, I can't let her wait for nothing."

"....?!..master?"

284 Before execution >>

Hearing this word, Shilis raised her eyebrows and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Ah, it's Miss Yaezakura! She is also a follower of Lady Shiris, right? That lady is really powerful. I can't even take a single move from her... So, in order to become as strong as her, I became Miss Yaezakura's disciple!"

Hearing this, Shirley was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered the three Pseudo-Herrschers she had kidnapped two days ago. Among them, Yuno was imprisoned because she was completely corrupted by Honkai, and the remaining Asakura Miyuki and Yae Sakura joined the special operations team that Shirley was in charge of as temporary members.

The simple-minded Yae Sakura and the severely chuunibyou Kyushu Houraiji seem to get along surprisingly well...?

"Ha... So Yae Sakura is with you, no wonder she seems so busy lately. Don't worry, I will tell her for you. Okay, concentrate, the task I am going to give you next is very important and also very dangerous. I hope you can concentrate and listen to me carefully..."

As she spoke, Shilis took out the captain's terminal from her pocket and handed it to Jiuxiao beside her.

"During this time, you should have known what the so-called Destiny Organization is, right?"

"Yes! It is an anti-Houkai organization like Anti-Entropy. It is extremely powerful, but its philosophy and methods are unjust. It is our hostile organization! I, Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple, will never allow such an organization that harms innocent girls to continue to do evil!"

Hearing Jiuxiao's decisive voice, Xi Lisi nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that there was no need to doubt her loyalty to her side. Although this method of discrediting the hostile organization was a bit inappropriate, it was still very effective...

"Very good, the task I'm going to give you this time will start from the branch of the Destiny Organization in the Far East. You should remember that when we first met

The floating battleship you encountered when you were on the expedition? That was the military force of the Far East Branch."

"This terminal is a very important piece of identification that we intercepted from the Destiny Organization. Now, I need you to take this thing and go to the Far East Branch of the Destiny Organization..."

Far East, Canghai City...

The third collapse in Changkong City was completely unknown to other areas due to the government's information isolation. Even the citizens of the neighboring Canghai City had no idea that their neighboring city had become a dead city. Therefore, in Canghai City, a developed coastal city, everything was still in good order.

"What did you say? Fenrir, why are you delaying our action?"

In a hotel by the sea, a young man with short blue hair sat on a chair. He frowned slightly and looked at the girl in the image in front of him, with a questioning look on her face.

"We came to this city in the Far East and applied for short-term temporary visas. If we delay any further, we won't have enough time to search, and the success rate of the mission cannot be guaranteed!"

He said calmly, unconsciously moving his left hand wrapped in a glove. This arm was infected by special Houkai energy, and the changes on the skin surface could only be concealed by gloves. However, he did not want to remove this diseased hand with unknown dangers, not only for strength, but also to keep the memories of the past.

"I can't do anything about this, Kerry. You know, that stupid woman Cocolia is actually trying to cause trouble with the Destiny Organization!"

Fenrir's helpless voice came from the other end of the communication. In the video, Qiang opened her eyes with dark circles under them, rubbed her long red hair in annoyance, and pouted slightly.

"If this continues, a direct war is inevitable! If you act recklessly at this critical moment, you may not even know how you died!"

"Then what do you say we should do? Once the visa expires, we can no longer legally stay in this country. If we don't even have a legal identity, there's no way we can investigate. Let me make it clear first, I can't search for another person while evading capture..."

Following Kerry's words, there was a brief silence on the other side of the communication. After a while, Fenrir gently pressed his temple and shook his head again.

"I don't have any solution for this matter... How should I put it? Well! There is always a solution. Forget it, I am just giving you a little advice. It is up to you to decide what to do..."

In the end, as if he had completely given up on treatment, Fenrir lay weakly on the table, gave Kerry a cute smile with his tongue sticking out, and then returned to his previous expressionless look.

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just a task issuer, not in charge of your operations. I've already warned you about that troublesome matter, so it's up to you to decide what to do. Anyway, why are you alone here? Where is Mr. Mike going?"

After scanning the light screen, Fenrir suddenly asked Kerry with some concern. Hearing this, Kerry hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed outside the door.

"That guy said he was going to prepare to infiltrate the Far East Branch of the Mandate of Heaven and was going to purchase some 'props' for disguise. I don't know what he was planning to do..."

"I see. Since you already have your own plans, I don't need to say anything more. I'll leave this important mission to you. You must find the girl named Kiana and bring her to me! That's it. I'm counting on you~"

After saying this, Fenrir, who was nowhere to be found, cut off the communication. Looking at the terminal screen that had returned to the standby interface, Kerry was silent for a moment, then turned off the terminal, leaned over the back of the chair, and slowly clenched his fists.

"They really treat me like a laborer... Well, as long as we target that organization, then there's no problem. The Destiny Organization that took everything from me... Anyway, we must make those guys pay the price!"

Muttering in a deep voice, Kerry stood up and looked at a certain coordinate point displayed on the map, his eyes becoming solemn.

"St. Freya's College... humph, it really is located completely on the sea. It's a bit troublesome. The possibility of being exposed when sneaking in is really high."

He muttered to himself, feeling a little irritated. But suddenly, Kerry seemed to remember something and turned to look at the half-open wooden door of the room. Thinking of the intriguing smile that the temporary companion showed him before he left, he raised his hand and scratched his hair in confusion.

"A tool to assist in infiltration? Humph, is there anything that can help us break through the heavily guarded base academy? And... where can he buy such a thing? It's really confusing. Forget it, at this point, I can only pin my hopes on him for the time being... It's just right for me to see, that hidden guy

What's the plan? "

285 Captain?

In the command room of the Far East Branch of the Destiny, the petite silver-haired girl sat directly on the table, propping her head on her thigh with one hand, swinging her legs with an irritated look on her face.

Looking at the information screen in front of her, Theresa frowned slightly and couldn't help but tighten the terminal in her hand. The metal machine made a creaking sound under the pressure of the girl's white and tender fingers, and it had begun to deform a little...

"Grandpa Otto...are you really planning to cause trouble with this decision? Humph! You're actually going to appoint an officer from the headquarters to serve as our captain?!"

Realizing that the fragile terminal could not vent her anger, Theresa slowed down her strength and stopped ravaging the poor machine in her hands. Instead, she angrily smashed the table, completely ignoring the mournful sound of the metal desk and the several clear dents that appeared on the table.

"Don't you know... this kind of thing will be very unpleasant?! Any company organization will not like a manager who dropped from the sky! And he took over the strongest military force of the Far East Branch? You actually want to seize power from me so easily? Hehehe..."

Theresa sneered in a broken expression. If someone who was not familiar with her saw this broken expression, they might think that the school principal was infected with Honkai energy. However, Wuliangta Himeko knew very well that this was a reaction that Theresa would only have when she was very angry...

"Ah... From the looks of you, you probably know about that, right, Theresa?"

Ji Zi, who had just walked into the command room, said calmly, closed the door casually, walked up to Theresa with a stack of electronic documents, and handed the documents to her.

"Take a look. This is the work approval document officially issued by the headquarters. In other words, this matter has been finalized. Soon, Captain Hyperion's position will belong to the people at the headquarters."

"Mmmmm...! Damn it! Don't you feel unwilling to accept this, Jizi? The strength of the Far East Branch was accumulated bit by bit by us. Whether it's the Hyperion or the St. Freya Academy, they were all built by us with our own hard work! But, an order from the bishop requires us to give part of them away? What a joke!"

Theresa asked Himeko with a grin, slamming the table angrily, as if she was going to fight Otto to death. In response, Himeko sighed softly, with a sharp light flashing in her eyes.
